When I grow up
Confession: I’m 43 and I don’t know what I want to do when I grow up. Or what my passions are most days. Am I even a grown up? Some days I don’t feel like one. I know that sounds like crazy talk. I’m married. I have two kids and a dog and a full-time…
A Hard Refresh (Ctrl F5)
When working, I frequently need something published on our website and sometimes it’s not always visible right away – that’s when the web team tells me to do a hard refresh or Ctrl F5 to see my article all fresh and new. That term has been stuck in my mind lately as I’ve felt I’ve…
That last day feel
You know what the worst part about vacation is? Not the packing, not the “are we there yets?” from kids if you have them, not even the expense… Nope. It’s the last day. You know when you still want to enjoy beach and pool time (or wherever you are) but also know that leaving awaits…
Routine Roadblocks
I think I’ve said it on here before: I love a routine. I love a schedule. Don’t get me wrong – I like free time but too much of it has almost always made me anxious. When I look back, I can see I’ve always loved routines and schedules. Knowing what was coming each day,…
My weakness is I care too much
Anyone remember where that song lyric came from? I certainly did not until I hopped in the car last weekend as I was getting ready for my eldest daughter’s 6th birthday party. It’s from the Papa Roach song called Scars released in 2004 when I was 22. I thought – holy crap, yep, I care…

Part II For almost 3 years I have worked from home – while my work has a physical location in Virginia, most everyone is remote. I love it – it’s perfect as a mom and especially works because my husband sometimes travels or frequently has night conference calls and working remotely allows me to get…
I cry a lot but I am so productive Part 1
Taylor Swift fans will recognize the lyric which seems to resonate with a lot of people. While I don’t think I cry too much, I definitely get overwhelmed a lot but I am so.damn.productive. It’s hard to know where to start. Maybe I’ll just start with a little background. After having my first daughter in…
It’s been awhile…
More than 3 years since I wrote in this blog. Oops, sorry. I’d say life happened and that’s both true and untrue. Because while a lot of life has happened, I’ve struggled many a times with what I’m doing (or not doing) with MY life. So here’s a very abbreviated version of what I’ve been…
First Trimester Pregnancy: What a Mind F*CK! (and a little of the second trimester)…
Excuse my language, but that’s how I can sum up first trimester pregnancies. If I’m being honest, it’s probably the whole 40 weeks of pregnancy, but especially the first trimester. I’m almost 18 weeks along (and guess what, I started a draft of this blog right after I finished by first trimester and look how great I’ve been at posting…
